The Plan

Hidden in a mountain that is located in the Badlands all the villains are now gathered around with each other, well almost all of them. Each and every one of them have annoyed looks on their faces. Half of them don't even want to be there for they have better things to do than to just sit here and listen. Half of them don't even want to be villains anymore but since they signed the villain 'contract' they are demanded to come.

"I'm sick and tired of getting defeated by those stupid bearers of the elements. I think it's pretty obvious that we are not going to rule anytime soon." Aria Blaze continues to complain about how useless it is to have to sit here and talk about the amount of fails everypony has had.

"Aria would you please shut up for once and actually let us think out a plan how we can maybe achieve ruling Equestria." Adagio Dazzle is sitting in between Aria and Sonata and she wishes she didn't. All Aria does is complain and Sonata is just plain dumb sometimes. "Like seriously, even Sonata is quiet and not acting stupid for once, why do you have to be so annoying sometimes?" Adagio knows that she is being ignored but decided to say that anyway. Aria just rolls her eyes and continues to ignore Adagio. She may be the leader of the Sirens but she most certainly does not control her.

"why don't both of you shut up and stop annoying people!" Trixie had enough of them giving attitudes to each other and finally decided to snap back at them.

Adagio glares at Trixie and her eyes are saying one message "Stay out of this Lulamoon, I never liked you before anyway."

Behind the walls you can hear mumbling coming from the room where the strongest villains are talking. Even though nopony could really hear them they heard some words every now and then. As footsteps are heard coming towards the door every scrambles and then pretends that they all like each other.

"Silence!" Everypony goes silent as the most feared and powerful villain in Equestria enters the room. He was a powerful centaur and could easily out-do whoever challenges him in battle. He is known as Tirek and even though he was sent to Tartarus for 4,000 years he has returned and gained his strength back. "After talking with a few of the other villains we have came up with a idea that might work. Instead of us just attacking directly like we usually do why not wait. Instead we will attack as a group therefore, we have larger numbers and stand a better chance at taking over."

"Tirek sir, we have been waiting for just about 5 years since you were defeated. I don't think any of us can wait any longer, and even if we did who knows how much more spells that irritating Twilight Sparkle would know." Sunset Shimmer says 'Twilight Sparkle' in a tone that makes her name sound poisonous. She starts to get pretty annoyed about how they keep pushing back when they are going to attack. Every single meeting it's just them saying let's wait longer.

Upon hearing the mention of Twilight's name everypony in the room started mumbling. If it weren't for her they probably would've succeeded long ago. All that they want is for the elements of harmony to be destroyed. Arguments break out about when they should get revenge. Whether it be right now, or it should be 1 year from now. Discord just sits there unsure of what to do because he wants to rule Equestria, but at the same time he doesn't want to see Fluttershy get hurt. He can't wait to spread chaos and disharmony around Equestria. Making other ponies miserable and scared is something he enjoys seeing on other ponies faces.

"Fine. We shall get revenge tomorrow night during the summer sun celebration party. First though we start with the shadowfrights. Since they can't be seen they can easily attack one of the 6 element guardians and hopefully succeed on getting them to join us. This will start tomorrow. Meeting is dismissed don't get caught by anypony while heading home."

A bunch of grumbling and mumbling was made while heading out of the mountain. Everypony else had to wait to attack. Only the shadowfrights could. Thinking it was dumb to send only one villain out King Sombra tells himself that he's going to be keeping a eye on a certain alicorn tomorrow. Nightmare Moon might be gone but there will be a new fear that Equestria will face. As the shadowfrights promise they hope to create a new enemy that is better than Nightmare Moon herself. Something the shadowfrights, who once corrupted Luna promises to do again with success.

Author's Note

This is actually my very first mlp fanfiction. Some feedback would be greatly appreciated to help me continue with this story. I don't quite exactly know where this story is going so far (I know it's not a good idea but usually when i don't know it actually turns into a really good story lol.) I hope this book is good enough that you guys would like to read some more.

Failed Attempt

The defeat of Nightmare Moon that was exactly 10 years ago was something to celebrate. Of course it had to be celebrated on the Summer Sun celebration. It's when everypony gathers around to see Celestia raise the sun and Pinkie knew everyone would be there for her party after the raising on the sun. Pinkie pie was of course in charge of the party. After all she was the party pony. She couldn't wait to get started setting up. She got her famous party cannon out and set it off. Cake, balloons, party hats, confetti, everything a party could wish for exploded out of the cannon. After satisfied with her party set up she went to go tell everypony that the party has now officially started. Twilight and the others thanked Pinkie and told her they would be there and would never miss out on one of her parties.

It was a little after 9:30am and the party started @ 8:00am. Pinkie didn't understand what was going on. She was heartbroken.
"Does nopony like my parties? What am I doing wrong? My friends promised they would come but why are they not here?"
Questions were swirling around in Pinkie's head, and that's when the nightmares decided to use as their first victim. Pinkie then heard voices that started whispering to her.

"Pinkie come join us, we will celebrate and appreciate your parties unlike the ponies here. We can party to your heart's contempt."

Just hearing the word party got her excited. She wanted to listen to these voices but she couldn't. "I love your offer but I can't. I have friends and my job is to plan parties here in ponyville."

The random voices fought back. They will succeed this time in getting what they want.
"Pinkie look around. If your so called "friends" said they would come then where are they? Where is every other pony? No one wants to party anymore, thats why they never came." These whispers did everything in their power to get Pinkie to come over, to join them.

The fluffiness in her mane has started to deflate and go flat. Pinkie feeling like her heart has just been ripped out she sighed.
"Your right if anypony did like my parties they would come. No one showed up after a huge victory of defeating nigh....."

"Pinkie so what do you say will you join us?" Interupting her but they just want a answer. They want a new form and they knew just how to handle this party pony.

"I will join you guys." Pinkie looked down and defeated. She just wants to party. Now she will get what she wants.

Immediately a bunch of shadows come out of the ground and started to surround Pinkie. They were so close to achieving that is until something was stopping them. Light started to appear and attempted to break the wall of darkness around Pinkie.

"No, it can't be her bond with her friends is too strong that it just fights back." As some of the shadows started to seperate from the wall for they could not fight against the friendship they hissed at Pinkie, while backing away from her. Some others pressed on and started to close more into Pinkie. As they got closer Pinkie started to glow and a shockwave of blue appeared breaking the wall and making the shadows retreat.

Pinkie stood there unsure of what to do. She felt a little wierd but shrugged it off, and started to bounce towards Sugar Cube Corner. Some of the shadows may have entered Pinkie's mind but it wasn't enough to get her to their side. That's alright since they knew what to do to help this party pony become one of them.

I hope this chapter was also good. I like this once better than the first. Sorry for making the first one so bland i wasn't quite sure how to start it off

Fluttershy's help

Near the everfree forest a shy yellow pegasus is taking care of the animals that she lives with. Its around feeding time so while she's in the kitchen getting everything prepared she doesn't notice somepony is knocking at her door. Angel, Fluttershy's pet rabbit hops over to her and gently pulls on Fluttershy's light pink tail. Trying to get her owner's attention she notices that Fluttershy is too busy humming to a song. Angel hops on up onto the counter. Fluttershy finally notices the bunny right in front of and starts to worry that she might be taking to long preparing the food.

"Oh my, Angel I'm so sorry. I'm probably taking forever getting you guys your food. It's almost done I promise can you wait a little longer?" The timid pegasus ends up finishing and starts to hand out the food to the animals. Honey for the bears, carrots for rabbits, corn for the chicken, and so on. There was sudden banging on the door making Fluttershy squeal in fright, then hiding under the table for safety.

"I wonder wh.....who is banging on my door." Finally gaining the courage to come out from under the table she looks through the window and sees a raging Twilight at her door. Opening the door Twilight burst in. Even the pegasus could tell that her alicorn friend was having a serious issue right now.

"Fluttershy there is a serious problem right now, so can you please listen to what I have to say. Applejack is out of town as it turns out so I couldn't talk to her and then your name popped up into my mind so therefore I came here to see if you could possibly help me?" A rush of words just spill out of Twilight's mouth as soon as the door is opened. Fluttershy is unsure of how to respond to what her friend is saying but she is more than happy to listen to what Twilight has to say. As the 2 friends go to sit down Twilight starts to tell her what happens.

"So this morning I went to go grab the Elements of Harmony since it was really quiet and found out that they were missing! I don't possibly understand what could have happened to them. We used 5 years ago when defeating Tirek, ever since then we never used them which doesn't make sense as to why they would just suddenly disappear. Do you have any idea as to why the phenomena occurred?" It was obvious that Twilight really cared for the Elements and she would trade her own life to make sure that nothing happens to them. Fluttershy was thinking things through trying to understand how they would just randomly disappear from where they were kept.

"Well...ummm...Have you invited anypony into the library since defeating Tirek or do you possibly have a tracking spell on them?" Fluttershy hopes that maybe having Twilight recall who she invited into the library would help the alicorn locate the culprit. Twilight gasp at the mention of a tracking spell. She concentrates hard to see if she can locates them but nothing comes through. She is positive that she put it on them in case this did happen one day she was capable of finding them easily. It seemed like there was something blocking the spell since they couldn't be located.

"Well...Pinkie Pie did stop by late last night and asked me if she could borrow a book. It was very unusual for her to come by so late while asking for a book. Since I trusted her though I just left her downstairs while i went back to sleep. You don't think Pinkie took the elements Fluttershy do you? I mean why would she even went them anyway?" Twilight wonders why Pinkie was acting in a strange way last night. Maybe she should go see how Pinkie is doing hoping to see if she does have the elements, even if she did what was she going to use them for? As Fluttershy waves goodbye to Twilight and Twilight thanks her friend for helping her, she runs full speed ahead towards Sugar Cube Corner where hopefully she will find Pinkie Pie with the elements there.

Pinkie's Lie

Pinkie's Lie

As the sun shines through a window at Sugar Cube Corner, Pinkie Pie gets up out of bed and starts to head downstairs to say good morning to Mr. and Mrs. Cake. As she starts to leave her room she remembers about Gummy.

"How silly of me to forget about Gummy. How could I leave him behind? Pinkie bounces back up the stairs heading into her room. Gummy was found sleeping very peacefully at the very edge of her bed. With a simple tap on the back Pinkie's pet alligator wakes up and looks at her with his purple eyes.

"Come on silly, let's head downstairs to say good morning to Mr. and Mrs. Cake." giggles escape from Pinkie as she hops towards her door with Gummy trailing right behind her.

Snap! As Pinkie looks down to see what she has broken she panics. Right under her hoof are the elements of harmony, but she accidentally broke Twilight's element. Waterfalls practically start pouring from her eyes once she realizes that the elements are ineffective without Twilight's. Not understanding how they got there she gathers all of them up but one of them and puts them into her saddlebags. Knowing that this is irreplaceable she hopes to be able to glue it back together and hope the Twilight can not tell the difference. Then those darn voices she heard before come back into her head.

"Ouch, that looks like one big problem right there. Whatcha' gonna do if...idk let's say a villain tries to take over?" A very deep voice makes a joke out of what happened.

"haha....hey, hey Shadow I bet you she doesn't know what to do!" Another voice starts laughing hard like there's no tomorrow.

"Phantom, you're not funny why don't you shut up.You're so annoying sometimes."Pinkie concluded that this Shadow dude (whoever he was) didn't like this Phantom guy very much.

"Wait, I don't get it. Who are you guys? What do you guys want from me?" Pinkie starts asking these 2 voices questions.

"Oh Pinkie, you don't get it do you? We caused you to take the elements. What we want from you is to help us rule Equestria. Our first step into doing that is by getting rid of the elements." Shadow responds. Guessing that maybe Shadow is the leader of whatever they are Pinkie wants to make sure to get all answers from him.

Realizing that she was capable of letting these monsters get to her in the first place she starts to cry again. Maybe crying will make it look like she's weak and hopes that they leave.

"My goodness...would you stop crying all the time. We don't plan on leaving since we know your stronger than what you show right now." This time Phantom makes the complaint not Shadow.

"PINKIE PIE!!!! I NEED TO TALK TO YOU!" Pinkie looks out the window and sees Twilight, at least she thinks it's Twilight. Her coat is white while her mane and tail are on fire. The voices go away immediately after hearing the voice of the alicorn. Leaving her own battle between whether to tell Twilight or not between herself. the pink earth pony shoves the saddlebags that contain the elements into her closet. Knowing its not a very good idea to lie to her friend if she asks about the elements she decides to lie anyway. Putting a smile on her face, she trots down the stairs and opens the door.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
As Twilight is standing at right outside the door of Sugar Cube Corner her patience meter is going down while her anger meter reaches the top. She's been waiting for Pinkie pie to answer a door for at least 20 min now.

"Pinkie you have never taken this long before what's the issue?" Twilight mutters to herself while rolling her eyes at the thought.10 more minutes pass by and Twilight just snaps. Her coat turns white while her mane and tail erupt into flames. Not caring whether all of Equestria hears her she screams "PINKIE!!!! I NEED TO TALK TO YOU!" Finally the door opens and there is Pinkie pie standing there with a surprised look on her face.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
"Wooooahhhh.....Twilight why are you partially on fire?" Pinkie's eyes went wide with curiosity while her mouth formed a 'O' shape.

Ignoring her friends question Twilight starts demanding Pinkie to tell her where that elements are. She will not let anything stop her from finding the elements. Even if she has to search this whole building to find them she will. Twilight doesn't want to know the consequence Celestia has waiting for her when Twilight has to tell her that the elements are gone.

"Pinkie where are the elements?" Twilight asks this question very calmly to see if Pinkie would tell her. Her coat turns back into a lavender color along with her mane and tail that turn into their normal dark navy blue with a purple and pink stripe.

"Twilight *gasp* why would I ever steal the elements. That be very silly of me." giggles come out of Pinkie's mouth.

Slightly annoyed with Pinkie not admitting to it Twilight decides to add in some 'recent' activities that occurred late last night.

"Than how come they were missing this morning? Last night you come to the library asking to borrow a book. I trusted you down there by yourself while I went back to bed. You want to tell me that you didn't take them?" Twilight starts to give a glare towards the party pony hoping it would make her uncomfortable and spill the beans about her theft.

"I...I never came to the library last night. I was in my be...bed the wh....whole night." Twilight's glare is making Pinkie very uncomfortable causing her to stammer making it look like a lie.

' She's stammering which means that she might have taken them.' thinking to herself Twilight looks out the window to find out that Luna already raised the moon. It was pretty late out but Twilight didn't want to take forever finding them either. Unsure of what to do Twilight accepts Pinkie's 'story' and says goodnight.

Meanwhile back upstairs Pinkie grabs a snack and heads back to bed. Surprised by how fast today went she falls fast asleep right away. Only to be greeted by a nightmare about her friends and what would come next if the elements aren't fixed. Then those awful voices came back to her. As they talk to her Pinkie is unaware that she listens to what they tell her to do. Heading to the closet Pinkie picks up the elements of harmony and starts to head into the direction of the Badlands.

Author's Note

sorry for a wait. I tried typing this on my phone so there is probably a ton of grammer mistakes. Go ahead grammer nazis come after me : Very sorry for not really that great of a c;iffhanger either. I wanted to include the dream in this chapter but at the same time I wanted it to be its own chapter.

Caught!

She didn't want to but they forced her too. No control over her actions and what was going to happen. Nothing could be done about the cause of this issue. These unknown creatures just come whenever they feel like. Why though? Is there something they could possibly want. She's suppose to be the happiest pony around. Sure she has her secrets and such but how can she explain what's going on now to her friends. What would they do to her? It's whenever no pony is around or at night that they decided to strike. How could Celestia or Luna not be able to tell that something is wrong? All these thoughts are cycling in Pinkie's brain while she still has the chance to think.

Then it's all over. Her mind is going insane at this moment trying to fight off whatever is corrupting her, but it's too strong of a force that she could not win. Her mind grows blank of any happy memories and it turns dark. Her pink fluffy mane and tail go flat. Her eyes have this wild look in them that makes everypony fear her. A sinister smile spreads across her face to complete the look. Getting out of her bed she walks over to the closet and opens it up. Grabbing her saddlebags that contains the elements she puts it on her back, and starts heading to the exit of Sugar Cube Corner.

Pinkie had a plan in mind for the elements, which was to completely and utterly destroy them. It might be to noticeable if she did it here in Ponyville. The other keepers might notice their connection to the elements broken, then attempt to find out where it came from and what happened. She had to do it fast since it was starting to become day soon. The main issue was getting past the princess of the night. After all, Luna was known to enter dreams and was able to see everything that is unusual in the night. But this wasn't a dream so that was nothing to worry about, hopefully it wasn't a dream otherwise issues would happen. Slipping out of the door she starts to gallop towards the everfree forest hoping to reach the old castle ruins of the 2 sisters before the sun rises. For Celestia's sake getting caught by Princess Celestia herself would not end very well for Pinkie. A shadow of what looked like a pegasus flying in the air appeared on the ground in front of Pinkie.

She had to hide from this pony whether it be Luna or not, the moonlight was to bright for her too just stand out in the open, especially in the everfree forest then suspicions would really rise to the top. Dashing behind a tree Pinkie starts to walk along the shadows of the treetops hoping they would hide her. Poking her head out back into the moonlight to see if that shadow was still visible, and sure enough it was. That's when a big mistake was made because the sound of wings was heard, and it was growing closer as every second passed by. Quickly pulling her head back inside the tree shadows,Pinkie starts to run full speed deeper into the Everfree forest. Still no use because a figure slammed down into the ground causing dust from the dirt go into Pinkie's eyes blurring her vision and making her stumble for a few seconds. Even though her vision was still a little blurry and disoriented she could make out the shape of a pony.

'I hope this is one of the night patrols and not Luna herself. I would be able to escape them easily.' Pinkie was able to see clearly now and she did not like what she saw. It might have still been dark since the treetops were blocking out the moonlight, but Pinkie was able to clearly see the shadowy, dark figure of a alicorn that had wavy, lifelike mane and tail. 'Of course it is. The one pony I really didn't feel like running into right now.' Rolling her eyes at the thought Pinkie starts to turn around but instead stops to turn back around and face Luna.

"Who are thou and what are thou doing in the everfree at such a late time of night?" The amount of power that was behind Luna's voice might have scared Pinkie a bit. Her main plan was to run anyway and that's exactly what she did. Spinning on her hooves Pinkie started bolting right for the exit of the Everfree Forest.

'Try to catch me now, Luna' Pinkie smiles at the thought of escaping that she had, but really she didn't get as far as she had expected. Her hoof came out from under her causing Pinkie to fall flat on her face. Something was pulling her back towards the alicorn of the night and sure enough Luna's magic was wrapped around Pinkie's back right hoof and was pulling her closer. She starts cursing herself out about her stupid decision. Luna was now dragging her out into the bright moonlight so she could see this intruder more clearly. 'No not the light anything but the light. Please I beg you anything but the moonlight.' When both of them are out of the forests' shadow and into the moons' light Luna still had her magic around Pinkies' hoof, but pulled her upward while hanging upside down so they were face to face.

A shocked expression spread across Luna's face when she saw who intruded the Everfree."Pi....Pinkie pie? What are thou doing out here in the Everfree alone? What is in your saddle bags?" Being hanged upside down while being asked questions severely angered the pink pony. She narrowed her eyes and answered Luna with a attitude.

"First of all, I'm not Pinkie ...I'm Pinkamena Diane Pie for your information. I suppose your name is Moonbutt." There was a sinister, evil smile spreading across Pinkamena's face from the way she spat her name out at Luna. She was actually enjoying this. "Secondly, what's in it for me as too why I'm out here alone. Isn't it obvious that I don't want any pony to bother me right now. Finally, why don't you look for yourself Moonface." Luna was dearly struck and hurt at how she was being called names by one of the element keepers. Pinkamena saw this and wanted to continue insulting the Princess, maybe it would make her weaker and Pinkamena could escape from the grip.

At the same time, it also hurt Pinkamena's feelings that she just insulted the Princess. Her brain automatically jumps to curious thoughts. 'Why do I care that her feelings are hurt? I should care for no pony but myself. It's not daytime yet. She can't take over. It's impossible." Most certainly there was no way she was going to express that sadness. The saddlebags were being loosened from Pinkamenas' back. She watched carefully as the light blue magic opened up the bags and crashing onto the ground were the elements.

"I....I don't get it. What were you planning to do with these? Thou are one of the keepers how could you do this!" anger was rising again in Luna at the same time though a hint of sadness, shock, and curiosity was shown through her turquoise eyes. What caught the dark blue alicorn's attention was the broken element of magic. Instantly Luna released the insane pony, not caring that her face came into contact with the earth. Her magic wrapped around Twilight's element and she summoned it over to her. She could see clearly that the star-shaped stone was cracked and there were shard pieces barely holding on. All attention that Luna had was directed towards the crown.

While Luna was too busy inspecting the crown, Pinkamena got up off the ground. She quickly gathered the other elements shoving them into her saddlebags and taking off before Luna even noticed they vanished again. Knowing that she has just been caught and no doubt that Luna wouldn't tell Celestia about this encounter including the elements, Pinkamena tries to think of somewhere to run and hide. The only place she could think of were the Badlands, so she starts galloping full speed towards the Badlands before any pony else could catch up to her. How would she deal with this situation? More importantly how can you escape the princesses?

Author's Note

I am so sorry for such a long wait, I been super busy with school stuff and sports. It's getting near mid terms for school and my competition season has started for cheerleading. I will try to be updating whenever i get the chance. I do have some more chapters already planned to make up for a long wait. Also i hope this chapter was good.

Lying to a sister

Luna lands at the castle in Canterlot. She darts inside through the doors screaming for Celestia. The Element of magic is still being held by Luna's magic. Looking for her sister the sun is attempting to rise but is failing for that the moon is still in the sky. Gently setting down the mangled crown on the ground Luna puts all her concentration onto the moon so it would make room for the sun. Scooping up the headpiece again, the nighttime ruler starts galloping for the balcony where she would find her older sister raising the sun.

"Sister, I have come with some very important news."

"I know Luna. I have felt a fault in the connection of harmony among ponies." Celestia's eyes are full of worry and fear. "It was in my dream last night that a new terror is rising. One that is ineffective against the elements. It seems though that it has already struck and isn't going to stop until it gets what it wants."

"Tia, turn around and look." Celestia turns around as a gasp exits her mouth at what she sees. Taking the element the yellow magic engulfs the blue taking control over the element. "Luna where did you find this at?" Dropping her head to the ground while debating whether to tell Celestia about Pinkie or not.

"I....I found it laying on the ground of the Everfree. No pony was nearby." A sense of shame was swelling up inside her. 'Thou can not tell Celestia about Pinkie. Something is making her the way she is. ' Her thoughts accidently escape through her lips "Almost as if *gasp* Shadowfrights....it could be a possible solution as to why she was so rude, or maybe it was something else? " Celestia gives her sister a very confused glance then demanding her to explain what she just said. "I should probably get some rest now. " Turning around and dashing off to her room. Leaving behind a very angered sun princess that now has to figure out what her sister said by herself.

"Luna! What the buck! Why can't you tell me what's going on?" Shouting back at her sister who already ran into her room. Thinking on how to get this info from Luna an idea pops into Celestia's mind. 'A mind reading spell is perfect than I will be capable of knowing the info without her actually talking.' Calling upon her spell book she searches for the spell and finds it.

'From mind to mind
and secret to secret
Let the untold be heard by another'

As this was said Celestia's magic worked itself. Yellow aura granting what she thought she wanted. What wasn't read was the small text saying:

Warning: Please be in the same room as the one you want to read. If not, switching bodies is possible.

That's exactly what happened since Luna was in her room. Not in the same room as Celestia.

Author's Note

Sorry for a really short chapter. I just kinda wanted to get it out so I can continue writing and such.

Missing Elements

Looking over at her alarm clock Twilight panicked. Pinkie's party started around 2 hours ago! Hoping that Pinkie isn't heart-broken that Twilight didn't show up she hopes that everypony else is there though to keep her entertained. As Twilight trotted over to where the party was something didn't seem right. It was quiet around in ponyville. As she trots down the stairs to get a quick breakfast she tells Spike that he also needs to get out of bed and ready for the party.

"I wonder why it's so quiet. I should probably carry the elements with me incase, since something doesn't seem right." Twilight whispers over her shoulder to Spike which she finds him sleeping on her back. She chuckles at the sleeping purple dragon and heads back towards Golden Oaks Library. Grabbing her saddlebags Twilight heads over to where the Elements are only to find them missing.

"Spike, Spike, SPIIIIIIIKKKKEEE you need to wake up now we have a major problem right now. I can't find the elements and I'm positive that I put them in the book where they belong.After Tirek was defeated." Twilight nervously starts to run around the library using her magic to take every book off the shelves and search through them. Nothing was to be found in any of the books that are now lying in one big pile on the library floor. Every shelf has been wiped clean of the books, seeing that Spike wrinkles his nose at the sight knowing that he will be cleaning it all up later on.

"Awwwww....Twilight I just picked those last night. Now you toss them all on the floor in one big pile." Spike starts grumbling about how he has to pick all the books back up and put them away properly. Twilight completely ignores his complaints and starts to head outside to ponyville. Maybe her friends will know where the elements are. If something happened to them in the name of Celestia, Twilight wouldn't want to know how angry her mentor would be with her at this very moment. Leaving her assistant behind to take care of the library Twilight decides to go see Applejack first since she always tends to have a solution when it comes to problems like these. Finally arriving at Sweet Apple Acres Twilight barges through the barn doors without even knocking and runs straight to Applejack. Practically banging on Applejack's door Applebloom walks by and decides to ask Twilight what she is doing.

"uhhh...Twilight what are ya doing banging on mah' sister's door? Ah' thought she told ya' she would be gone for the week."

"AppleBloom, she told me *pant* nothing about that. Where is *pant* she at because i really need to talk to her about something important." Twilight is practically out of breath from running non-stop to only find out that Applejack isn't even in town for the week. Applebloom leads Twilight downstairs and gets her a glass of water to drink. As they sit down Twilight notices that Applebloom finally got her cutie mark. It was a Apple that had a little white flower on the right corner of the apple.

"I see you got you cutie mark Applebloom. Congratulations! When did you get it?" Twilight is very happy that Applebloom finally has her cutie mark but wonders if Sweetiebelle and Scootaloo got their's yet.

Applebloom's eyes practically lit up when Twilight asks her about her cutie mark. "Well i reckon' that I actually got it 5 days ago. I don't how ah' did it but it just appeared out of no where. All I was doing was encouraging some more apples to grow to we could get some more harvest goin'." Having a cutiemark was great news because now Diamond Tiara can't bully her anymore. At the same time though, Applebloom really wanted to call up the other crusaders and tell them. Knowing how happy Sweetiebelle and Scootaloo would be for her she also didn't want them to be disappointed about them not having their cutie marks yet.

"That's great Applebloom but what i really need to know is where Applejack is."

"Oh right almost forgot! Sorry twilight, I reckon' that she said she was headin' on down to Appleloosa to spend a week with Braeburn and some other cousins' down there." Applebloom sounded a little disappointed that Twilight was more determined to find out where her big sis' is rather than wanting to hear bout' her cutiemark.

After Twilight thanked Applebloom and started to leave, she felt like there was something following and/or watching her. Twilight didn't like the feeling she was getting so she decided to head over to Fluttershy's cottage next and talk to the timid and shy yellow pegasus. The one who lives with all the animals. Hiding behind the trees though somepony was watching Twilight and the pony who was watching her was none other than King Sombra himself.
